Catacomb of San Pancrazio, Early Christian catacombs near Via Aurelia, Rome, Italy.
The underground burial complex contains four main sections with ramps, stairs, and barrel vaults extending through multiple levels beneath the surface.
The site gained prominence after the burial of Saint Pancras in 304 AD, who was executed at age 14 for refusing to renounce Christianity.
The cemetery walls display numerous funerary inscriptions and early Christian symbols that document religious practices from the first centuries of Christianity.
The catacombs welcome visitors on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 to 12:00, and Wednesdays from 9:30 to 12:00 and 16:30 to 18:00.
A Roman matron named Ottavilla recovered Saint Pancras's body from Via Aurelia and established this burial ground, initially known as Coemeterium Otcavillae.
